About Local eateries and activities:
The local cafe -Little Piggy, just cross the tunnel under the railway, opposite Aldi shop. I quite like their fresh cooked food and the nice coffee. They open from 7am -2pm Monday to Saturday. They are kindly to offer our Karoola guests free coffee if you order the meals there. Beside the cafe, you also can find the Thai restaurant, Chinese take away as well.
The Aldi supermarket is very convenient for you to shop all the necessary groceries they open 7 days.
With the 20 mins driving you can arrive at Bouddi National Park, https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/visit-a-park/parks/bouddi-national-park , it is the No.8 track in Australia and with the beautiful beach. You can sunbathe or swim there. If you like swimming or having the sunbathing on the beach, there is some useful link you can find a few beautiful beaches in 10-20mins distance: https://beachsafe.org.au/nsw/gosford/west-gosford
There are also some good restaurants in 3-10 mins driving distance, such as The Coast Bar&Grill in Gosford, the Boat House in Koolewong and The Box On The Water in Ettalong also there is a best Italian restaurant https://www.osteriailcoccia.com.au/.
We would highly recommend the Fisherman’s Wharf in Woy Woy. A 9 minute drive away from our home, you can buy fresh seafood here from the market to cook at home, takeaway freshly cooked seafood from the kiosk to eat along the water, or have a wonderful meal at the waterfront restaurant.

It’s such a pleasure to host Wayne and his family again.
They are very polite and easy to communicate with. As our returning guests they always follow the house rules very well and kept the house very clean and nice organized.
Highly recommend to all the hosts and very looking forward to having Wayne and his family here again soon!
What a joy waking up to the view every morning, and the sunrises were spectacular. The house was perfect for a family stay. It was large enough for everyone to stay and not be on top of each other. Helen was a very attentive host and had equipped the beautiful house with everything you could need. We really enjoyed our week's stay, especially the extra "guests" in the front garden, where Mama Duck had laid a dozen eggs. We were excited to see a couple hatch before we left. We would definitely recommend this home.

It’s our honor to be able yo host Judith and her lovely family. They are one of the most respectful groups of our guests, easy to communicate with and left the house very tidy and well organized. We would love to highly recommend Judith and her family to all the hosts , and it would be our honor to host Judith and her family /friends here again anytime
The view is fantastic, the property is large and open, and overall there is nothing to complain about. I do have a few remarks, you can't swim in the water (due to council rules-but, many beaches are close), a few extra towels would be great (just in case of getting one dirty accidentally), and the place is a bit old (guessing built in the 70s-80s?), but you'll only notice the age with some of the fittings and style. Nevertheless, the price is well suited to this house on all fronts. I will happily go back again and again.

Hi Brandon,
Thank you for your kind recognizing to our house. Happy to know you enjoyed the view. Yes the house was built in 1994, a bit long time ago but luckily it’s very solid and in a good condition as such age!
Yes the extra towels are very important suggestions we will do it!
We enjoy to read your review and got your positive encouragement and very honored to be able to host you.
You are always welcome back as one of our vip guests , very looking forward to having you here again and again,
My son was visiting from UK and wanted a nice quiet place to stay. We were concerned when we realised that it was opposite the railway line-but once in the house you hear nothing.
Kitchen is well equipped and all was in working order. It would have been great to have some board or card games available. it is just a perfect place not to do anything and laze around on the deck. Helen was quick in responding to queries.

Hi Jennifer, I am very sorry to hear your disappointment with the first access with the smart lock. The smart lock has the protection function if you had too many wrong trying . Actually I answered your call immediately and was able to removal control to open the lock but meanwhile you had found the right way to use the smart lock. During your staying the lock worked well I didn’t get any message from you about the lock afterwards.
I trust you had a nice staying in our house . We never introduced to our guests there was a gym.
We would love to get your fair review and always welcome to get the great advice from our guests.
Fantastic location for people to gather for a celebration. Great for travellers from Sydney/Newcastle and interstate as the train line that links all places is in walking distance. Plenty of parking too for cars. The layout of the house too lends itself for a fun time with an amazing view to top it off. Please note however Jetty is not suitable for boats to tie up due to the low low tide. Also a larger fridge to accommodate 8 people is needed. Host was very responsive to any questions we needed. House was spotless and well equipped with provisions. A very memorable time was had by all. Many thanks.

Beautiful Location but disappointed.
The house is in a good location and has beautiful views. Yard is tidy and maintained. Inside the house requires a bit more TLC. TV Remote required batteries, purchased these ourselves. . Toaster didnt work, the host didnt respond for 10 hours when notified of this problem. We generally cook our own breakfast when away to save on meal costs and a toaster is essential. Broken blinds in dining/lounge that dont open, Exhaust fan in ensuite seized and doesnt work, Top Hinge on door to master bedroom needs refixing. Bulbs blown in house and require replacing. TV had finger prints and marks all over it, not covid clean standard. We did receive small refund to reimburse us for Batteries and broken toaster.

Hi Kim,
Very sad to read your review. It’s the only 2 stars review we have got in the last 3 years since we opened the house as the short term rental accommodation.
Any reviews are the treasure which can help us to improve our service to be better as all the other guests appreciated and encouraged us.
We had fixed the exhaust fun and door hinge on the day of your checkout, all the issues were reported by you as the first time.
Also I hope the refund I did immediately when you were still staying in the house would show our honest and apologies for the broken toster and the batteries.
I trust we will do our best to give all the guests including your next staying a satisfied experience.
It's the first time renting a property. Overall I enjoyed the experience and would do it again.

Thanks for your staying in our house.
My cleaners asked me to send you their great thanks for you and your group. They appreciate you left the house very clean and well organized.
Please contact me when you have another opportunity to come back again. You are our VIP guest!
I’m very honored to be able to host you.
Best regards,

We chose this property because of its long jetty. The home is spacious. From both levels we could see Brisbane Waters, a true water front. As for fishing, we did catch some off the jetty. We let them all go because they are tiny. We enjoyed the process.
The property was absolutely beautiful and the views were marvellous. Perfect for families looking for a charming and relaxing getaway. Helen was a very accomodating and generous host. Thank you very much Helen for having us!
Helen was a great host, always easy to communicate with. We had a lovely family holiday and loved waking up to the fantastic view. We enjoyed fishing from the private jetty! We would definitely stay here again for future holidays.

A very special house that offers not just good, clean and comfortable accommodation, but also an amazing waterfront vista from the large open plan lounge and kitchen area, the ground floor deck and bedroom, and the private jetty. You feel like you're sitting right on top of the beautiful Brisbane waterway. The panorama is spectacular. In the evenings we gathered for drinks on the balcony and took in the magical tinkling lights illuminating the Gosford harbour area. Truly special.
I was lucky enough to view three glorious sunrises.
If you're looking for a relaxing, rewarding get-away, this house ticks all the boxes. It is also a very short walk from a supermarket, bottle shop, cafe, take-away options and the railway station. Helen was an exceedingly helpful and generous host. Thank you.
A truly memorable experience,
Denise
Absolutely the best stay we have been and done. Will certainly be back again in the future

Hosted by Helen
I'm an architect, be loved mother with two grown up children. I love travel and have the enthusiasm to learn the new things. Our family love music very much and have many lovely friends around us.
Why they chose this property
I just fallen love with this house when I step in. Used to be our holiday house. We enjoyed the sunrise and the sun set so much. We often saw the pelicans and the swan swimming peacefully on the water. Now our children are living in different cities, We would like to share this beautiful peaceful place with our guests. We set up thr whole house with entire new furniture and furnishing, put our love and effort on the business.
What makes this property unique
When you get up the stairs, you will be surprised with the whole windows water view through the living room. When you go to the ground floor, you would be surprised by the full level bedroom with the living area , studay area also the same level water view. If you have your own boat/or hire a boat, , you can drive it along the Brisbane Water , even you can drive to fishing.
